1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are integrally involved in the clearance of a wide range of drugs used to combat human diseases. UGT expression levels and activity can be induced by drug addition to cells and has been proposed as a potential intratumoral drug resistance mechanism. Traditional methods of assaying UGT activity are drug-centric and require HPLCs with multiple detectors (dependent on individual drug). Here, we describe a generalized method to detect total UGT activity (intrinsic or induced) via the UGT-Glo assay which utilizes a general UGT substrate with luminescence as the readout eliminating the need for multiple HPLC detectors to detect total UGT activity in a given sample. The method detailed here can be applied for any UGT containing sample, allowing for the efficient detection of total UGT activity to be the functional endpoint using a plate reader. In this manner, global changes in UGT activity can be monitored in response to a wide variety of stimuli.
